To Donnie’s family and friends, my deepest sympathies to you all. I had the pleasure of reconnecting with him when I worked at Cedar Lane. He was quite the character, he was tough……but a softie underneath. Rest in Eternal Peace Donnie!
Very sorry to hear of Donnie’s passing. We grew up together in Oraville and have lots of memories of Donnie. Condolences to the Buckler family.
To the Entire Buckler Family our Sincere Condolences of Donnie’s passing. Donnie’s nick name he was given was Dixie on the farm as we grew up around him working in the tobacco fields at the Burch Farm in Helen. He was a joker and that laugh would draw you in but you better let go of the PEPSI. May you rest in peace Dixie and we hope you have a unlimited supply of Pepsi. To all of his family you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
Norman, Rosie, Normie, Johnny, Chuck, Ree Ree, Richard and Jay
and the rest of our extended family.
Margie&Wayne&Family&Friends
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Keep Cowboy Donnie’s MEMORIES ALIVE!!! Remembering all the fun times we had back in the 70’s……God Bless You All!!!!
Love
Elaine&Joe Copsey from Chestertown
